Montenegro will start the game in Podgorica with a two-point lead in Group H and Brnovic used his pre-game press conference to claim England were "more scared" than his side.Hodgson did respond to Brnovic's claims that his team are over-reliant on "long passes", suggesting it was a tag that could be attached to previous England teams, but not his.England manager Roy Hodgson elected not to react to Brnovic's comments in his own media conference, but Gerrard said the 45-year-old's antics could work in the visitors' favour.We play the football we play and we think it's a good football, so I don't really care whether people want to label it short-ball or long-ball.I'm not really too interested in what was said in their press conference, or in ours, to be honest," said the England captain.Having seen his side beat Brazil in a friendly in February and then trounce San Marino 8-0 on Friday, Hodgson believes his ideas are beginning to take hold.I'm interested in how the lads train and how we play once the whistle goes tomorrow (Tuesday).But for their manager to come out and say some of the things he's said, I think we've got him right where we want him.
